"Top Class Service"

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Top class service. No hassle at all. Service felt personal and not "corporate hire companies" like. The owner is a top lad and was very easy going. The opportunity to pet the office cat Oscar is an added bonus too! Will definitely use BTC if a hire vehicle is ever needed!

"Will use again should the need arise"

I needed to hire a car a short notice when my own car developed a fault. They were able to supply me a vehicle even though I hadn't pre booked and were very flexible regarding length of hire as I was unsure when my vehicle would be back on the road. Excellent friendly service. Will use again should the need arise. Very pleased.
